THATMANMONKZ

'thatmanmonkz' is a Sheffield based DJ, Recording Artist, Producer, and label boss at Shadeleaf Music, who has played alongside Carl Craig, Grandmaster Flash, Recloose, and Phil Asher, to name a few. Flat-sharing with producer Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, M.I.A) led to a crash course in studio techniques, inspiring him to join forces with Toddla T (Radio 1) and form Small Arms Fiya. The pair collaborated on a number of releases and remixes, all received to impressive global acclaim.

He manages to tread that fine line of simultaneously picking up props from all angles and wrecking dance floors the world over, whilst remaining resolutely underground and focused on the more interesting corners of dance music. He releases on Delusions of Grandeur, Kolour LTD, and Classic and his recent debut album "Columbusing" was a fine document that touched on authentic deep house, funk and soul with plenty of proper song structures and real vocalists amidst the underground club heaters.
